4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[SleepyOwl]

I candled tonight (couldn't help myself) and see definite veining in 4 of my silkie eggs!

I wasn't expecting to see so much already! Not giving up hope on the rest, just excited to see something going on. I didn't see much in my other eggs, but they are all brown or blue, and have thicker shells, so harder to see into.

Hi everybody! We set on the 11th, and I couldn't stand the waiting anymore and candled the eggs. There are darker blotches in 2-3 of the yolks of our brown eggs, but mostly nothing, one of the white ones have absolutely nothing, and the other has this tiny red ring. Should we wait longer? This makes me so sad! This is our third dozen, and I hate to have to tell my son that we failed once again. I would be happy with just one chick.

I am so ready to make a big quiche breakfast tomorrow, and chuck our bator out the window!

I've attached a candling pic of one of our white eggs. WHAT is that tiny red ring? I'm hoping against hope that it's not a blood ring, that it's something else!

I candled my eggs tonight too! It wasnt what I expected, most showed up clear....Im thinking it's fertility. I have pekin duck eggs, and i dont think they breed as much in thee winter as they do in spring/summer. Well good luck to everybody.

Don't give up on them. I won't toss anything out until at least after 7 days, if they're still clear. I had a serama that was clear while the others were well veined and there were obvious pink blobs. The next candling I found veining and a nice pink blob in that clear egg.

Ok, I won't!

Am I fired?

You wish, LOL, no but your time here will count toward purgatory

so worry not!

I cannot keep up. Lol. This is crazy

12 pages of posts since the last time I came on! Yikes, I can't either!

I think you need a time out.... Now go sit in that recliner and think about what you did.....

I love this one, though Elvis is pretty funny too!

Give it until tomorrow, it might just happen to be circular, but there is something about the dot on the left that makes me think that maybe it's veins.... And don't give up on the rest either. Mine are still clear, but I can't imagine nothing will develop out of 19 eggs even if they had been shipped. Give it until day 7 if you can, I will be doing the same

I couldn't go to sleep thinking none of my eggs were developing, so I candled all of them. I found 4 of them developing and one possibly developing, or else it's a blood ring. I'm not throwing the others away yet, they could show something in a day or two, but I'm relieved enough to know I have possibilities tonight!

What really made my heart soar is that my one frizzle egg from bhep has the clearest strongest spider vein of 'em all, and I really want that one to hatch!

That one and please, one more (don't want any singletons!) Just gotta make it 18 more days 'till hatch!
